thank you for helping me :)

anonymous · Answer

I need a medal as well (for keeping the secret)!

anonymous · Answer

Area is equal to the base * height.
altitude is the height
Trapezoids have two bases, so we take the average of the two, which is the median.

OK. Go to the Church this Sunday and ask the priest for forgiveness in the confession room. You'll be pardoned; or else you'll be doomed in hell for all the sins you've committed.
